    I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

    I read the article just a little while ago.

    Hard to wrap your head around that fact: the LAST WWI veteran.

    May he rest in peace.

    God Bless him, I think Winston Roche was second to last WWI veteran to pass, I loved to hear his analogies of the war, it was their time and they accepted that. It just seems that Peace is an accident and War is constant, I wish there was a better way to deal with the differences that we all share. Maybe in the next life.
